crocheting for 3-dimensional design course



Crocheted mini swing in progress

 My final exam is to create something that illustrates the fourth dimension. The 4th dimension seems to have varied interpretations.  I settled for TIME.  The sculpture must show the passage of time in space somehow. Here is my as yet unfinished creation. 

I am crocheting a little girl to sit on the swing.  When the wind blows the swing will --- well -- swing back and forth.  The existence of the swing as you see it is now in the passage of time.  The first push and swing upward shows the passage of time in that it is a moment later.  The 4th dimension is not visible in our world even tho it is there - today is yesterday's tomorrow, ... the passage thru yesterday, today and tomorrow takes place in time.




Little girl will sit on swing and be pushed by the wind into the future.
